THE GIRL DOESN’T COME TO SCHOOL FOR 3 MORE WEEKS AND DOESNT ANSWER HER PHONE

BOY CALLS THE NUMBER AFTER SCHOOL

Voice: Hello, Suppam County Hospital. This is Nurse Victoria.Boy: Uh, I must have the wrong number. I’m looking for my friend.Voice: What is their name, sir?*boy gives info*Voice: Yes, this is the right number. She’s one of our patients here.Boy: Really? Why? What happened? How is she?Voice: Her room number is 646 in building A, suite 3.Boy: WHAT HAPPENED?!Voice: Please come by, sir, and you can see her. Goodbye.Boy: WAIT! NO!

THE BOY GOES TO HOSPITAL, AND TO ROOM 646, BUILDING A, SUITE 3. THE GIRL IS LYING IN THE HOSPITAL BED.

Boy: Oh my God, are you okay?Girl: *silence*Boy: Dear, talk to me!Girl: I..Boy: You what?Girl: I have cancer and I’m on life support.Boy: *breaks into tears*Girl: They're taking me off tonight.Boy: Why?Girl: I wanted to tell you, but I couldn’t .Boy: Why didn’t you tell me?Girl: I didn’t want to hurt you.Boy: You could never hurt me.Girl: I just wanted to see if you felt about me the same as I felt about you.Boy: Huh?Girl: I love you more than anything. I would give you the world in a heartbeat. I would die for you and take a bullet for you.Boy: *crying*Girl: Don’t be sad. I love you and I’ll always be there with you.Boy: Then why did you break up with me?Nurse: Young man, visiting hours are over.

The boy leaves and later that night the girl is taken off of life support and dies, but what the boy didn’t know is that the girl only asked him those questions so she could hear him say it one last time. She only broke up with him because she knew she only had 3 more weeks left to live and thought that it would cause him less pain and give him time to get over her before she died.

NEXT DAY

The boy is found dead with a gun in one hand and a note in the other.

THE NOTE SAID:“I told her that I would take a bullet for her, just like she said she would die for me.”
